Yesterday I went down to the market and came away with more than I had intended. The heat lay heavy over everything, and the crowd moved through it wearily. What stayed with me was the smell of the oranges. **Alternatives** The hardest sentence was *Hacía mucho calor y la gente estaba cansada*, where the two clauses are joined by nothing stronger than *y* and the tiredness is left unexplained. 1. "It was very hot, and the people were tired." — the closest rendering, and the flattest. It keeps

Thanks for sharing this — and for being clear about the goal, which makes the feedback much easier to aim. You are broadly on track. The argument exists and a reader can follow it.

Her work is maintenance and log-keeping; the shipping lanes moved twenty years ago. - *Rising action* — A carrier signal resolves out of the noise. The ship identifies itself as the *Auger*, departed a hundred and three years ago and long since written off. - *Climax* — The message is not a distress call. It is a routine position report, sent on schedule, by a crew who do not know how long they have bee

**Revised passage** The town is thick with old buildings, and the buildings are coming apart at their seams — brick sloughing, cornices going soft as bread left out in the weather. A plan now exists to make them whole again. The townspeople are glad and, in the same breath, afraid, because the cost is steep. The mayor has said the work will begin in spring, weather permitting. **Feedback** - **Formality of tone** — The original drifts between civic report ("there is a plan to fix them up") an
